Looking for knee mills for small series production and prototyping? Look no further than our high-quality knee mills. Our drilling and milling head features a quiet V-belt drive operation and infinitely variable spindle speed control, paired with automatic spindle sleeve feed (3 steps with micrometer depth stop) for precise and efficient milling. The spindle braking is controlled via a simple hand lever for ease of use.
Our knee mills are built to last, with a high-quality heavy-duty MEEHANITE cast iron base and all guideways coated with Turcite B for maximum durability. The XYZ slideways, table, and T-slot are hardened and ground for long-lasting wear resistance. The high-grade casting is annealed and stress-released for high rigidity, making it perfect for even the toughest milling jobs. Box ways on Y and column ensure smooth and precise movement, while telescopic steel covers protect the slideway and ball screw from dust and coolant. Plus, semi-guarding is standard with optional full guarding available.
Box ways on Y & Z. The head utilizes a swivel range left / right ± 45 ° and rotation of the upper arm around the column 360°.

“We are excited to expand our capabilities with this machine.”
Travis, Mill Sprocket Machine Corp | DMV 250 VS
“We are excited to have the students learn with this machine.”
Vincent, Florida State University | DMV 250 VS CNC
“The machines received from KAAST have worked great with our needs and have proven to be a reliable asset to the company.”
Robert, Hudson Machine Works | DMV 230 VS
“We have had no issues. Parts come out in tolerance!”
Scott, Medical Packaging Inc. | VF-Mill Mini
“We prefer the Fanuc control which has proven to be very reliable in harsh conditions. The VF-Mill 1100 has a y-axis travel more than 21 inches. That 1”+ can make the difference in taking on that extra job. And, it has a compact overall footprint.”
John ONeill, ONeil Components | VF-Mill 11L
“That mill is great. We use it everyday!”
Jacob Loewen, HF Water Well Drilling | DMV 250 VS
“This VMC is doing everything that was promised and more. We will be needing additional VF-Mills soon for our new plant.”
